was holding it. The ground was hard. but
they managed TO make n pretty good furrow,
when asked what that sort Of proceeding
meant, they explained that they could not pet
mule They had rented the land, and were
trying to cultivate it.
The incident illustrates forciblv the de.;-.
Of the negro to farm on his own hook rather
than for wages. No doubt the three oould
